Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 155

Jaxon turned around, locking eyes with Ronald in a stare sharp as an eagle's talon.

Feeling the aura emanating from the man, Jaxon felt his heart shudder involuntarily.

The man's presence was overwhelming. Even a single glance from him sent waves of danger coursing through Jaxon's veins.

Ronald narrowed his eyes perilously, "Threatening her?"

Jaxon swallowed hard, his gaze shifting between Ronald and Stella.

Stella crossed her arms, "Threatening me?"

Their tones matched perfectly.

Jaxon felt not only oppressed but also realized how much of a stranger Stella was to him, as if he had never truly known her.

The already frosty atmosphere of the office plummeted into an unprecedented danger.

Jaxon clenched his fists, his breathing unsteady, "I..."

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced towards the door, sensing the immense aura of the man standing there. Who was he? He had never seen him around Portis City.

Ronald strode over Stella with long strides, pulling her close, "He just said he's who to you?"

"He said he's my brother."

Those words seemed to drop the temperature even further. Despite the heating, Jaxon felt a chill down his spine.

Why did this man's aura become even more menacing upon hearing Stella call Jaxon her brother?

Ronald fixed him with a dangerous look, "You really want to be her brother?"

Jaxon was at a loss for words.

He was her brother! Or at least he had been until Stella mentioned their mom signing the disownment agreement.

With that, Jaxon was no longer her brother in any capacity, regardless of whether she ended up begging on the streets or vanished without a trace, she would have nothing to do with the Larkin family.

Jaxon scoffed, "As if I could ever deserve such a sister."

The woman’s bombardment of questions only frustrated Jaxon even more, making his head throb with pain.

Of course, he had told them, but not a single family member had accepted her. He rubbed his throbbing temples, "Are you at home? I'll come over now."

"Fine, come here and explain yourself properly."

After the snarl, the woman hung up, leaving Jaxon by his car; eyes close, he gripped his phone tightly.

Before he could drive off, Cloudia's call came through, "Jaxon, what are we going to do?"

Pain was evident in Cloudia's voice.

Despite his headache, Jaxon tried to sound soothing, "You're awake?"

"Yeah."

Cloudia was still furious about Stella's role in her fainting spell.

"Ursula's doctor just told me, if Finley and Tegan don't get involved in her treatment soon, she might only have three months left."
